The high-tech Ford F-150 2021 still has these old-school features


Last week’s unveiling event for the Ford F-150 2021 focused on the new truck’s technology, including the optional hybrid powertrain and hands-free driving system, but there’s one feature to miss: it still has windows. manual rollers.

At least XL base models do, and they’re not the only example of low-tech design.

The highlight of the new F-150 is a folding console gear stick, which is standard on all five-passenger models and allows you to unfold an available interior work surface that flips from the armrest to form a flat desk between the front seats.

Ford says it was with the complex, motorized solution because some people prefer the feel of a console gear stick to a dash-mounted knob, like the Ram 1500 (and Ford Mustang Shelby GT500), but it could have gone in one direction. different to open space. In fact, it did.

The low-end F-150s equipped with the three-crossover front seat still offered use a column-mounted shift lever, as do all Chevy Silverado trims. The center seat even has a flat plastic back that allows you to fold it down to create a smaller workspace with two cup holders in the front. Old school truck fans will definitely drink from that.

Full-feature availability and pricing for the F-150 will launch closer to when it goes on sale this fall.
